Sheyi Ojo can't wait to get started at Wolverhampton Wanderers after agreeing a season-long youth loan deal with the Championship club.

The 18-year-old forward will spend the 2015-16 campaign with Kenny Jackett's side as he looks to apply the skills he has learned at the Academy in a senior setting.

Wolves narrowly missed out on a play-off spot last term and are sure to be targeting a return to the Barclays Premier League this year.

Ojo is hoping that he can link up with the West Midlands club's array of talented attackers to help make that dream a reality.

He told their official website: "Brendan Rodgers told me that he wants me to get more experience and Wolves is a great place to do that.

"It's a club moving forward, trying to get promotion. I'm just really happy to be a part of it; hopefully I can make a good impression and do well this season.

"It's a really good club. It's got great facilities. All of the players are nice, they have welcomed me to the club, and the staff are brilliant as well.

"I've heard a lot about the attacking force with Benik Afobe and Nouha Dicko so I'm looking forward to linking up with them. Hopefully we can create some problems and score some goals.

"Everything's going well, I'm just looking forward to starting the season this weekend."

Liverpool Academy defender Rafael Paez has today completed a permanent move to AD Alcorcon in Spain.

The centre-back sealed a return to his home country two years after arriving on Merseyside.

Paez had switched to the Reds' youth base in Kirkby in 2013 and appeared for the first team in a friendly against Shamrock Rovers the following year.

Having spent time out on loan last season, the 20-year-old has now opted for a new challenge with the Segunda Division side.

Rodgers: Benteke is perfect fit for LFC

Brendan Rodgers is confident Christian Benteke’s qualities will enable him to slot seamlessly straight into Liverpool’s system – but predicts there’s much more to come from the Belgium striker.
The summer signing from Aston Villa marked his Reds debut with a stunning volleyed goal against Swindon Town on Sunday.
Rodgers believes the moment served up a glimpse of what Benteke will offer his new club this season as Liverpool target more goals in 2015-16.
The boss told reporters at Melwood: “He’s the type of player that fits perfectly for us. I’ve seen him close-hand on the touchline since he has come into the Premier League.

Brendan's pledge for Britannia return

Liverpool head to Stoke City this weekend with the double aim of redemption at the Britannia Stadium and kicking off the campaign on the front foot.
As he previewed Sunday's game at his pre-match press conference, Brendan Rodgers naturally fielded a number of questions on what happened last time they made the trip.
It was 11 weeks ago that the Reds were stunned 6-1 by Stoke in their final fixture of the season.
Rodgers and his players have had all summer to reflect on the shock, disappointment and frustration of that result, and plot revenge this time around.

Reds 'handed Gotze boost'

Liverpool have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Mario Gotze, with the German’s agent admitting he could leave Bayern Munich.
The Reds have been kept busy this summer and have already secured the services of Christian Benteke, Nathaniel Clyne, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings and James Milner.
Brendan Rodgers remains on the market though, and could be set to launch an offer for Gotze after his agent refused to rule out a move abroad.
The midfielder’s representative, Volker Struth, told Tuttosport: “Mario has made it clear that his last two seasons have not been idyllic.

Fitness update on Allen, Flanagan and Sturridge

Joe Allen is set to miss 'three to four weeks' of action due to injury but Brendan Rodgers reported positive news on the fitness of Jon Flanagan and Daniel Sturridge today.
The Welsh midfielder limped off during the early stages of last weekend's friendly against Swindon Town.
He'll now be unavailable for the season opener at Stoke City on Sunday and the remainder of the first month of the campaign.
Rodgers said: "He'll probably miss three to four weeks, which is disappointing. He certainly won't be available for the weekend."
Asked for an overall injury update at his pre-match press conference, the manager delivered encouraging news on Flanagan and Sturridge.
"The great news with Jon is that he's working really well and is on target to come back just before Christmas, which would be great news for the squad," he added.
"Daniel will hopefully be back towards the beginning of September – he's working very hard."
